Luka 12
1 Kana ćidije pe but milja manuša, gaći kaj lije te uštaven jekh avere. O Isus angleder golestar lija te vaćarol pe sikadenđe: “Aračhen tumen taro kvasaco e farisejengo, so si dujemujengo.
While they were doing that, many thousands of people gathered [around Jesus]. There were so many that they were stepping on each other. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Beware of [becoming] hypocrites [like] the Pharisees. Their [evil influence] [MET] [spreads to others like] yeast [spreads its influence in dough].
2 Golese kaj naj garado khanči so ni ka pučardol, thaj naj učhardo khanči so ni ka šundol angle savorende.
People will not be able to continue concealing the things that [they or other] people try to conceal now. [God] will [some day] cause the things that are hidden now to be known {[everyone] to know the things that they hide now}.
3 Golese so si vaćardo ano mrako, ka šundol ko svetlo. Thaj sa so vaćarden čorale ko kan ane phangle sobe, tare krovura ka šundol!”
All the things that you say in the dark [secretly, some day] will be heard {people will hear them} in the daylight. The things you have whispered [SYN] privately among yourselves in your rooms will be proclaimed {[people] will proclaim them} publicly.”
4 “Al vaćarav tumenđe, amalalen, ma daran tare kola so šaj mudaren o telo, golestar khanči aver našti ćeren tumenđe!
“My friends, listen [carefully]. Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill you, but after they kill you, there is nothing more that they can do [to hurt you].
5 Ka vaćarav tumenđe kastar te daran. Daran taro Dol savo šaj mudarol thaj isi le zor te čhudol ani jag savi ni ačhol. Va, phenav tumenđe, lestar daran! (Geenna g1067)
But I will warn you about the one that you should truly be afraid of. You should be afraid of [God], because he not only has [the power to] cause people to die, he has the power to throw them into hell afterward! Yes, he is truly the one that you should be afraid of! (Geenna g1067)
6 Ni li bićindon pandž čiriklja paše duj pare? Thaj ni jekha ni zabistrol o Dol.
[Think about] the sparrows. [They are worth so little] that [you] can [RHQ] buy five of them for only two small coins. But not one of them is ever forgotten by God {God never forgets one of them}!
7 A tumenđe i tumare bala ko šoro si đinde. Golese ma daran! Tumen sen povredna tare pherdo čiriklja.”
You are worth more [to God] than many sparrows. So do not be afraid [of what people can do to you! God] even knows how many hairs there are on each of your heads, [so that if you(sg) lose one hair, he knows about it. So nothing bad can happen to you without his knowing it].
8 “Gija vaćarav tumenđe: Dži jekh ko anglo manuša priznajil kaj pripadil manđe, le i me, o Čhavo e manušeso, ka priznajiv angle anđelura.
I want to tell you also that if people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], [I], the one who came from heaven, will acknowledge before [God that they are my disciples]. [I will do that while] God’s angels listen.
9 Al ko man čhudol angle manuša, lestar i me ka odrekniv man angle Devlese anđelura.
But if people [are] afraid to say in front of others that they are [my disciples], [I] will say, while God’s angels listen, that they are not [my disciples].
10 Dži jekh ko vaćarol nesavo lafi protiv mande, protiv o Čhavo e manušeso, lese ka avol oprostimo. Al kova ko vaćarol bilačhe taro Sveto Duxo, lese ni ka avol oprostimo.
[I will tell you] also that [God is willing to] forgive people who say bad things about me, the one who came from heaven, but [he] will not forgive anyone who says evil things about what the Holy Spirit [does].
11 Kana ka anen tumen anglo sudo ke sinagoge thaj angle šorutne thaj anglo vlast, ma daran sar ka branin tumen thaj so ka vaćaren.
[So] when people ask you in Jewish worship houses and in the presence of rulers and other authorities [about your trusting in me], do not worry about how you will answer them [when they accuse you]. Do not worry about what you should say,
12 Golese kaj o Sveto Duxo ka sikavol tumen ane gova sato so trubul te vaćaren.”
because the Holy Spirit will tell you at that very time what you should say.”
13 Tegani vaćarda khoni tare manuša e Isusese: “Učitelju, vaćar mingre phralese te ulavol mancar kova so ačhada amenđe amaro dad.”
Then one of the people in the crowd said to [Jesus], “Teacher, tell my [older] brother to divide my father’s property and give me [the part that belongs] to me!”
14 O Isus phenda lese: “Manušeja, ko man čhuta te avav sudija il delioc pe tumende?”
But Jesus replied to him, “Man, (no one appointed me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property!/did anyone appoint me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property?) [RHQ]”
15 Thaj vaćarda savorenđe o Isus: “Dičhen thaj aračhen tumen tari pohlepa! I sa gaći barvalipe te avol manuše, leso džuvdipe ni avol golestar so isi le.”
Then he said to the whole crowd, “Guard yourselves very carefully, in order that you do not desire other people’s things in any way! No one can make his life secure by [obtaining] many possessions.”
16 Pale gova o Isus vaćarda lenđe kava paramič: “Nesave barvale manušesi phuv bijanda but bijandipe.
Then Jesus told the people this illustration: “There was a certain rich man whose crops grew very well.
17 Dija gođi ane peste vaćarindoj: ‘So ka ćerav? Naj ane soste te ćidav e milajeso ćidipe.’
[So] he said [to himself], ‘I do not know what to do, because I do not have any place [big enough] to store all my crops!’
18 Thaj vaćarda: ‘Kava ka ćerav! Ka peravav mingre thana taro điv thaj ka ćerav len pobare thaj gothe ka ćidav mingro điv thaj sa so isi man.
Then he thought to himself, ‘[I know] what I will do! I will tear down my grain bins and build larger ones! Then I will store all my wheat and other goods in [the big new bins].
19 Tegani ka vaćarav korkoro manđe: Isi tut baro barvalipe bute beršenđe. Ka odmori tut, ka xa, ka pije thaj ka veseli tut!’
[Then] I will say to myself [SYN], “Now I have plenty of goods stored up. [They will last] for many years. [So now] I will take life easy. I will eat and drink [all that I want to] and be happy [for a long time]!”’
20 Al o Dol lese vaćarda: ‘Bigođaleja! Vadži kaja rat ka lol pe ćiri duša tutar. Thaj kase ka ačhol sa gova so steknisadan?’
But God said to him, ‘You foolish [man]! Tonight you will die! (Then all [the goods] you have saved up [for yourself] will [belong to someone else, not to] you!/Do you think that you [will benefit from] all that you have stored up for yourself?) [RHQ]’”
21 Gija si kolesa savo ćidol pese barvalipe ki phuv, a ni ćidol barvalipe savo si šukar ane Devlese jakha.”
[Then Jesus ended this illustration by saying], “That is what will happen to those who store up goods just for themselves, but who do not value the things [that] God [considers] valuable.”
22 Tegani o Isus pe sikadenđe phenda: “Golese vaćarav tumenđe: Ma daran za ko tumaro džuvdipe dal ka avol tumen so te xan, ni tumare telose so ka uraven!
Then [Jesus] said to his disciples, “So I want to tell you this: Do not worry about [things you need] in order to live. Do not worry about [whether you will have enough food] to eat or [enough clothes] to wear.
23 Golese kaj si o džuvdipe pobut taro xape thaj tumaro telo pobut taro urajipe.
It is important to have sufficient food and clothing, but (the way you conduct your lives is more important./is not the way you conduct your lives more important?) [RHQ]
24 Dičhen e gavranuren! Sar ni sejin, ni ćiden, naj len ni podrumo ni kaj čhuven o điv, thaj o Dol parvarol len. A kobor sen tumen povredna tare čiriklja?
Think about the birds: They do not plant [seeds], and they do not harvest [crops]. They do not have rooms or buildings in which to store crops. But God provides food for them. [And] you are certainly much more valuable than birds. [So God will certainly provide what you need]!
25 Šaj li khoni tumendar golesa so brinil pe te baravol piro džuvdipe paše jekh đive?
(There is not a one of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it!/Is there any of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it?) [RHQ]
26 Kana našti ni gova zala te ćeren, sose brinin tumen za ko sa aver?
Worrying is a small thing to do. So since you cannot add to your life, (you certainly should not worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live!]/why do you worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live]?) [RHQ]
27 Dičhen e luluđa ki livada sar baron! Ni ćeren bući, ni suven pese šeja, a me vaćarav tumenđe kaj ni o caro o Solomon ane pe barvale šeja ni sasa urado sar jekh lendar.
Think about the way that flowers grow [in the fields]. They do not work [to earn money], and they do not make their own clothes. But I tell you that [even though King] Solomon, [who lived long ago, wore very beautiful clothes], his clothes were not as beautiful as one of those [flowers].
28 Te o Dol e čara gija uravol ko polje, savi si ađive thaj theara čhudol pe ani jag, dal ni ka brinil pe tumenđe vadži pobut? Sose gaći zala pačan?
God makes the flowers beautiful, but they grow in the fields for only a short time. Then [they are cut at the same time that the grass] is cut, and thrown into an oven [to be burned to make heat for baking] bread. [So they really are not worth very much. But you are very precious to] God, [and he] will [care for you] much more [than he cares for the grass by filling it with beautiful flowers]. So he will certainly provide clothes for you, who [live much longer than the grass. Why] [RHQ] [do you] trust him so little?
29 Golese, ma brinin tumen isi li tumen so te xan il so te pijen. Ma daran!
Do not always be concerned about having enough to eat and drink, and do not be worrying about those things.
30 Gija ćeren ke kava sveto e manuša save ni džanen e Devlese. Tumaro Dad ano nebo džanol kaj sa gova trubul tumenđe.
The people who do not know God are always worried about such things. But your Father [in heaven] knows that you need those things, [so you should not worry about them].
31 Nego roden o Carstvo e Devleso thaj aver ka dodol pe tumenđe.
Instead, be concerned about letting [God] completely direct [your life]. Then [he] will also give you enough of the things [you need].
32 Ma daran, mingre cikne bakre! Tumaro Dad manglja te dol tumen te aven ano Carstvo.
[You who are my disciples are like a] small flock of sheep, [and I am like your shepherd]. So you should not be afraid. Your Father [in heaven] wants to let you rule with him [in heaven].
33 Bićinen so isi tumen thaj den e čororenđe! Ćeren tumenđe traste za ke pare save ni phuravon thaj barvalipe ko nebo savo ni ka ciknjol. Khoni našti te avol odori te čorol tumaro barvalipe thaj ni jekh moljco ni ka xal le.
[So now] sell the things that you own. Give [the money that you get for those things] to poor people. [If you do that, it will be as though] you are providing for yourselves purses that will not wear out, and [God will give] you a treasure in heaven that will always be safe. There, no thief can come near [to steal it], and no termite can destroy it.
34 Golese, kaj si tumaro barvalipe, gothe ka avol i tumaro ilo.”
Remember that [the things] that you [think are the most] valuable are [the things] that you will be constantly concerned about.”
35 O Isus vaćarda lenđe: “Aven spremna thaj urade za ki bući thaj tumare svetiljke te aven phabarde,
“Be always ready [for doing God’s work] [MET], like [people] who have put on their work clothes and are ready [during the day], with their lamps burning all night.
36 sar manuša save ađućaren pe gospodare savo iril pe taro abav, te aven spremna te putren lese kana resol thaj marol ko vudar.
Be [ready for me to return] [MET], like servants who are waiting for their master to return after being at a wedding feast [for several days]. They are [waiting to] open the door for him and [start working for him again] as soon as he arrives and knocks at the door.
37 E sluge save si spremna thaj ađućaren pe gospodare te iril pe, ka aven blagoslovime. Čače vaćarav tumenđe, o gospodari korkoro ka uravol pe sar sluga thaj ka phenol lenđe te bešen thaj ka avol te služil len thaj ka dol len te xan.
If those servants are awake when he returns, [he will] be very pleased with them. I will tell you this: He will put on [the kind of clothes] that servants wear and tell them to sit down, and he will serve them a meal.
38 O gospodari šaj ka avol ki opaš i rat il anglo uštipe taro sojipe. Blagoslovime si e sluge save ađućaren.
[Even] if he comes between midnight and sunrise, if he finds that his servants are [awake and] ready [for him], he will be very pleased with them.
39 A kava džanen: kana bi džanola o čherutno ke savo sato ka avol o čor, ne bi dola te avol leso čher phago.
But you must also remember this: If owners of a house knew what time a thief was coming, they [would stay awake and] would not allow their house to be broken into [and their goods to be stolen] {[the thief] to break into the house [and steal their goods]}.
40 Thaj tumen aven spremna, golese so me, o Čhavo e manušeso, ka avav kana ni ka den gođi ane savo sato.”
Similarly, you must be ready [for me to return], because [I], the one who came from heaven, will come [again] at a time when you do not expect [me to come].”
41 A o Petar pučlja e Isuse: “Gospode! Vaćare li amenđe e sikadenđe kaja paramič, il savorenđe?”
Peter said, “Lord, are you [(sg)] speaking this illustration [only] for us or for everyone [else also]?”
42 A o Isus vaćarda lese: “Savo si devlikano thaj džanglo sluga kas leso gospodari ka čhuvol upreder pe čherese sluge te dol len te xan ko vreme?
The Lord replied, “[I am saying it for you and for anyone else] [MET, RHQ] who is like a faithful and wise manager in his master’s house. His master appoints him to [supervise affairs in his house] and to give all the [other] servants their food at the proper time. [Then he leaves on a long trip].
43 Blagoslovimo si gova sluga kas o gospodari kana avol, aračhol le sar ćerol gijate!
If the servant is doing that work when his master returns, [his master] will be very pleased with him.
44 Čače vaćarav tumenđe, o gospodari pe sa piro barvalipe ka čhuvol e sluga.
I tell you this: His master will appoint him to supervise all of his affairs [permanently].
45 Ako vaćarol o sluga ane po ilo: ‘O gospodari ni ka avol sigate’ thaj lol te marol avere slugen thaj e sluškinjen thaj xal em pijol thaj matol.
But that servant might think to himself, ‘My master [has been away] for a long time, [so he probably will] not return soon [and find out what I am doing].’ [Then he might] start to beat the [other] servants, both male and female ones. [He might also start] to eat [a lot of food] and get drunk.
46 O gospodari ka avol ano đive kana vov ni ađućarol thaj ano sato kana ni dol gođi, ka čhinol e sluga ke kotora thaj ka čhuvol le maškar kola save ni pačan ano Dol.
[If he does that, and if] his master returns on a day when the servant does not expect him, then his master will (cut him into two pieces/punish him severely) [HYP] and put him [in the place where he puts all] those who do not [serve him] faithfully.
47 A kova sluga savo džanglja so leso gospodari manđol thaj naj spremno thaj ni ćerda pale leso manglipe ka avol but mardo.
Every servant who knows what his master wants him to do but who does not get himself ready and does not do what his master desires will be beaten severely {[The master] will beat severely every servant who knows what his master wants him to do but who does not get himself ready and does not do what his master desires}.
48 A okova sluga savo ni džanglja e gospodaresi volja, a ćerda khanči sose ka avol mardo, ka marolpe zala. Kase dija pe but, but ka rodol pe lestar. Kase poverimo but, po but ka rodol pe lestar.”
But every [servant] who did not know [what his master wanted] him to do, and who did things for which he deserved to be punished, will be beaten lightly {[the master] will beat lightly every [servant] who did not know [what his master wanted] him to do and did the things for which he deserved that [his master] would beat him}. [God will treat his people similarly, because he] expects a lot from those people whom [he] has allowed [to understand a lot]. People who entrust things [to others’ care] expect those people [to care for those things] very well. Similarly, [God] expects a lot from those people whom he has allowed [to understand a lot]. Furthermore, he expects the most from people to whom he has given the most [ability].”
49 Thaj o Isus vaćarda: “Me aviljem te čhudav i jag e sudosi ki phuv. O, sar bi mangava te avol već phabardi!
“I came to earth to cause [there to be trials] [MET], [which will purify you as] fire [purifies metal] (OR, to cause judgment/divisions among you). I wish that the time when [you] will be purified {when [God] will purify you} (OR, when divisions will be caused {to cause divisions among people}) had already begun.
50 Al me trubul te krstima mučimasa thaj but manđe pharo sa dok ni ćerdol gova!
I must soon suffer [IDM] greatly. I am distressed, and I will continue to be distressed until my suffering is finished.
51 Dal den gođi kaj me aviljem te anav mir ki phuv? Na, me aviljem te anav ulaipe maškare manuša.
Do you think that as a result of my coming to earth people will live together peacefully? No! I must tell you, [that is not what will happen! Instead, people] will be divided.
52 Golese od akana ka aven ulade e pandž čherutne: trin manuša ka aven ke mingri rig, a duj ka aven protiv gola trin.
Because some people in one house [will believe in me and some will not], they will be divided. [For example], three people in one house [who do not believe in me] will oppose two [who do believe], or two [who do not believe in me] will oppose three [who do believe].
53 Ka uštol o dad protiv o čhavo thaj o čhavo protiv o dad, i dej protiv i čhej thaj i čhej protiv i dej, i sasuj protiv i bori thaj i bori protiv piri sasuj.”
A man will oppose his son, or a son will oppose his father. A woman will oppose her daughter, or a woman will oppose her mother. A woman will oppose her daughter-in-law, or a woman will oppose her mother-in-law.”
54 Thaj o Isus vaćarda e manušenđe: “Kana dičhen kaj e kale oblakura ćiden pe nakaro zapad tumen phenen: ‘Ka dolpese bršnd’, thaj gija avol.
He [also] said to the crowds, “[In this country], when you see a [dark] cloud forming in the west, you immediately say ‘It is going to rain!’ and that is what happens.
55 Kana dičhen taro jug phurdol, vaćaren: ‘Ka avol tatipe’ thaj gija avol.
[In this region], when the wind blows from the south, you say, ‘It is going to be a very hot day!’ and that is what happens.
56 Dujemujenđe! O muj e phuvako thaj neboso pindžaren, a sar ni pindžaren kala znakura so ćerdon akana?
You hypocrites! By observing the clouds and the wind, you are able to discern what is happening regarding [the weather]. It is disgusting that you are not able to discern [what God is doing] at this present time [RHQ]!
57 Tumen korkore trubul te džanen so si šukar!
(Each of you ought to determine now what is the right thing for you to do, [while you still have time to do that]!/Why cannot each of you determine what is the right [thing for you to do now while you still have time to do that]?) [RHQ]
58 Te khoni tužil tumen zbog o dugo savo ni irisaden thaj inđarol tumen ko sudo, odrumal miri tut lesa, te ma vucil tut ko sudo, golese so o sudija šaj osudil tut thaj te dol tut ke piro manuš te phandol tut ano phanglipe.
[If you do not do that, God will punish you] [MET]. [It will be like what happens when] someone takes one of you to court, saying that you [(sg)] have done something very bad. You should try to settle things with him while you are still on the way to the court. If he forces you to go to the judge, the judge will decide that you are guilty and put you into the hands of the court officer. Then that officer will put you in prison.
59 A ako phandol tut vaćarav tuće: Ni ka iklje gothar dok ni poćine dži i paluni parava.”
I tell you that if you go to prison, you will never get out, [because you will never be able to] pay every bit [of what the judge says you owe] [MET]. [Similarly, you ought to settle accounts with God before you die, too].”
